Best Summer Cocktails

While I really enjoy making cocktails all year round; summer is the best time. So much fresh fruit, citrus and herbs that you can hardly go wrong with any combination. I thought it might be a good idea to do a refresher today since I have LOVED so many of the cocktails I’ve made. These are mostly from this season but I’ve slipped a couple of oldy but goody choices in there too.

No list would be complete without my all-time favorite margarita, the cocktail that pretty much started my cocktail making passion so many years ago. I call it the BEST Margarita for a reason. Reposado tequila is the base and while not an expensive sipping tequila, it has been aged a bit and is so much smoother than a gold variety (which is totally misnamed in my book!). Great orange liqueur, real lemons and real limes and you see why it’s so good.

It’s all about fresh ingredients. I don’t buy mixes or frozen concoctions; it’s really not all that hard to make your own at home. Promise. Now let’s get down to them…you really should not let summer pass you by without trying one of these fantastic drinks!

It’s summer and Lemonade is sure a favorite but why not some fruit and bourbon? I’ll be doing another variety in a new cocktail next week and there is a plus; easy to mocktail too!

And that’s just a sampling; almost five years of cocktail each and every week and there is bound to be something for every taste. Take a peek at Friday Cocktails for more! Have a great rest of your summer and Cheers!
